Research activities focus on the application of 3D electron diffraction (3D-ED) for the determination of crystal structures at the nanometer scale.
This technique enables the study of materials that cannot be analyzed by conventional X-ray diffraction, as it allows data collection from extremely small crystals.
Dedicated computational workflows are developed and applied to process experimental data, refine scattering models, and incorporate crystallographic symmetry. These approaches enhance the accuracy and reproducibility of 3D-ED analyses.
This work contributes to the broader effort of establishing 3D-ED as a practical and complementary method within structural science, extending its reach to systems that were previously inaccessible.
